It rained on two of the last three nights of the crusade, but the people were so hungry for the Gospel that thousands stood in the rain and the cold to hear the Gospel. I preached with my clothes soaked; we saw multitudes come to Jesus and God confirm His Word with Signs Wonders and Miracles.
One most outstanding miracle was this that was told to me by Pastor Mavondo, our Director of Operations for Africa. We have not been able to get all the details as yet, but this is what we were told:
A lady came and told one of our team members that she lived in a house close to the field where the crusade was being held. Her mother, who was totally paralyzed and could not speak, had died. The family had gathered to see the body, to mourn and to make funeral arrangements. They were all crying. They could also hear me preaching in the distance, and then heard me praying for the sick. The lady said, “When Pastor Christopher began to pray for the paralyzed and said ‘Lord, send your Life and your Healing Virtue into the paralyzed bodies in Jesus Name!’ life suddenly came into my dead mother and she sat up. She came back to life and stood up! She went to the bathroom and took a shower, and ate afterwards!”
This is what our Lord Jesus can do! He the Savior of the lost, the Healer of the sick, the Deliverer of the oppressed. Even death has to loose its grip when we call upon that Wonderful and Mighty Name of our Lord Jesus! Hallelujah!
On the last night there was no rain. The field was packed with a sea of humanity and we saw a massive response to the altar call with a huge multitude receiving Jesus.
Then we prayed for the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. The Fire of the Lord fell upon the multitude and thousands upon thousands were Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Tear-stained African face worshipping Jesus, people falling, shouting, weeping all over the place……
So ended our first Africa Crusade for 2009! All Glory to our Lord Jesus!
Thank you for your love and your prayers. We start our next crusade on Wednesday in the township of Chawama. We have several teams helping us. One from State College Assembly of God and another from RHEMA Bible Training Center. Then there is a team of 3 young Swedish Pentecostal missionaries who traveled down from Tanzania to help us in both crusades.
Do uphold us in prayer! Pray especially for good weather. This is supposed to be the dry season, but clouds have covered the entire Southern African region and it is raining. We need a miracle here!
With much love, in Christ

The crowd that gathered to hear the Gospl the last night of the crusade.
It was very late by the time this photo was taken
and about half the people had left for their homes.
This woman could only walk and move with great difficulty. Jesus healed her and now she dances praising God for healing her!
